Moose shows drunk Montana tourists why you don't poke wild animals

Moose resting in snow

Two tourists learned a painful lesson recently after taunting and touching a moose at Big Sky, Montana. The animal stayed calm as the two men edged towards it, but lost patience after one of them touched it, and knocked him to the ground.

The incident (which you can watch below) was recorded by Jake Hopfensberger and shared on TouronsOfYellowstone, an Instagram account that highlights bad behavior at US National Parks and other sites of natural beauty. These often involve people getting much too close and personal with wildlife, whether it's teasing an elk (and getting a car tire punctured in exchange) or trying to ride a bison.
